    how do we magically get goods to and from?

    grocery store trips?

    what about other items from the store such as TVs?

    what about families?

    have you seen what is required daily or weekly for a baby?

    what about a Micro Center trip?

    not intelligent to be able move people and objects around?

    travel over 3,000 miles every few months for work out of state and could not see myself in that taking naps at a rest stop comfortably

    with such out of touch comments the petrol conundrum may never be solved

      Consider something like 50% bigger than a podbike.

      3000 miles is not something we as a society should accommodate to travel by car. The whole problem is that everyone thinks we can keep doing the same lifestyle just with zero carbon. We simply can’t. We need to change how we live and work.

      Huh this video just dropped which is one possible solution to design a different work / live environment. If you imagine a village like that but large enough to have a school and some more amenities: Building a village designed for people (not cars) near Phoenix

      But you’d still want public transport, bikes and delivery vans. But in Europe you also get a lot of cargo quadricycles to deliver goods.
